Note du spécialiste

Reference 8724, also called "Champs Elysée" because of its elegant design, was produced in a very small series in 1953 and only in yellow or pink gold. A similar watch, bearing case number 933'322, is illustrated in Rolex, Collecting Wristwatches, by Osvaldo Patrizzi, 1998 Edition, p. 47.
